Blick Basic Portfolios

This is a great student portfolio! Made of black polypropylene with a molded plastic handle, the Blick Basic Portfolio is attractive, functional, and low in cost. This portfolio offers years of reliable Blick quality at an affordable Blick price.

The inside of the portfolio features a pocket and an elastic "X" strap to keep artwork in place. Available in a variety of sizes and widths.

Portfolio Dimensions — The sizes given for presentation cases, portfolios, binders, and refill pages are the sizes of the artwork they are intended for, not the actual dimensions of the product.

I purchased this portfolio to carry large mounted photographs (up to 18 by 24 inches). It's handy, easy to use, convenient and protects the images, even in inclement weather. Its width allows it to easily carry six to eight large mounted photos, but it can only handle two 18 x 24 prints if they are framed.

My products so far are great! One of my products didn't come because of the postal service but after getting in touch with blick customer service via email. They responded back very quick and offered to send me another free of charge. They really were there to help me resolve my problem and I am so happy a company helped me out! Great company and great supplies and I'm looking forward to ordering more from them!

Very good first portfolio for art student. I bought it in time for my daughter's high school art audition and it worked really well. The pocket is good for loose works and letters and the x-belt for any presentation book and drawing pad. Thank you.

The portfolio is built with good materials and protects well from external elements. The pocket and retention bands assist in keeping multiple pieces from sliding around against each other. The only real con is that it is flimsy and does not hold its rigid shape on its own. I had to slide a cut down piece of the shipping box inside one of the pockets to keep it from slumping/folding over under its own weight and damaging lighter weight art pieces. With that in mind it's an easy fix for an economic product.

I'm not a professional artist, but I wanted something to keep/carry around my artwork in. This fit the bill perfectly. One side has stretchy straps and the other side is a pocket and they don't just smash together. There is a bit of room. It holds all I have (for now) quite nicely without my worrying that when I open it, everything will be everywhere. I'm very glad I got this product and I know Blick is a name I can trust.

I had done business with Blick in the past and knew I was always pleased with the speed and quality of the products I purchased from them, so when I decided I needed to purchase another portfolio for transporting my art work, I knew it was the place to go. The price was great and when it arrived, I was thrilled with the quality. Definitely will be back.

The price of this product reflects its quality. It is very flimsy and the inside pocket was coming apart when it arrived. I purchased this portfolio to store some poster sized photos and conserve space in my apartment. Since I will not be carrying it around often and didn't need the inside pocket this isn't an issue. If you need a portfolio for carrying your work around often I suggest getting something of better quality.

This product is OK for someone on a really tight budget or simple needs to store art work but if you buy it for every day use you may end up replacing it sooner than you would like to.

When I found this portfolio, I thought it was perfect. Perfect size--not big and bulky. Liked the interior pocket. But after light use for less than six months, the zipper has completely torn away from the case, so that any small contents can just spill out the side. It is now useless.

The price of this product compared to similar, competitive alternatives is:

A total rip-off

Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend
